Me: very soft tissue; Measurements: UB 68/72 cm (26.5/28.5"), Bust 87/92 (34/36.5")

My first impression of this bra was that it was so simple but so well done. The fabric is unique with the subtle grey checkerboard over the dark purple background - it's a really interesting color combination. All the details are perfectly matched - even the fastenings and elastic are exactly the right purple and the grey bow matches the checks . The cup is lined in black with included pads.

Fit wise, this band is very comfortable but stretchy. I can fasten it on the tightest hook with room to spare. Because there isn't enough tension on the band, the cups also fit a little large. Note: I can get away with a larger band in the more "horizontal styles" like CHP or CH, but not in 3D so I am exchanging it for a 65E.

As always for this style, the profile looks so goofy until the cups soften up and become more round, but it looks great under a shirt.

Also of note: the straps. I like the thick covered straps because they are very comfortable BUT they are very short. Even though this bra is too big, I have them out quite a ways (and I am both short and short torsoed). If you have your straps lengthened close to the max in most Ewa bras, this one won't fit!

This bra is not owned any more

• ***** After further examination, I think the band is mostly standard to a little stretchy. After all, 76 cm does not seem out of line for a 70 band. I did a little remeasuring and my under bust seems to have shrunk by a cm or so so that's why it feels large. I've always been on the cusp of a 65/70 Ewa band so I will need to size down in this style.
